Starting on Sunday 6/5/2016, Staples is running a promotion (page 9) offering a $20 Staples store gift card via rebate with the purchase of $300 or more in Amex gift cards.
The Deal
When you buy $300 in American Express® Gift Cards get a $20 Staples® Gift Card.
The Rebate
The rebate is done completely online and the Staples gift card generally comes via U.S. mail within 4-6 weeks.
Key Terms
- Valid 6/5/16–6/11/16.
- Limit 1 offer per household.
- In-store only.
Maximizing
Generally with these deals it is best to use a Chase Ink card to earn 5X Ultimate Rewards points or an Amex SimplyCash card to earn 5% cash back at Staples. Those with the recent Staples Amex Offer may wish to use their linked Amex card to earn 5% back as well. As a reminder, Amex gift cards are not PIN-enabled.

Anyone know if Amex Gift Cards can be added to an Amex Serve card via a Serve App load or online load similar to adding funds via an Amex credit or charge card?
I’m also wondering how to liquidate these. I’m not really up to speed on selling GCs online. Up to now I used them for in store purchases with Costco, but they are about to switch to Visa, and I have enough AMEX GC $ to tide me over till then.
Now what?
Can I buy Costco cash cards online with them?
Do these cards carry a $3.95 fee at staples? So probably
it’s best to buy one $500 card rather than three $100 cards
to save a little on fees?
I believe the highest denomination they carry is 200.
$200 VGC in store and $300 VGC on staples.com
That will work nicely with the “$25 off $100 or more” offer I have from AMEX offers.
Have you tried using split payment for this, by any chance? I have the offer on several cards…
Isn’t AmexOffer “$25 off $100” only for staples.com and this offer only in-store?
You are correct, and I’m really glad you mentioned it!
The Amex offer that I received has to be use online and this offer has to be in store. Sadly
thanks for the news. About that reminder, given that Amex gift cards are not pin-enabled, what’s the current thinking on how to use/liquidate these Amex cards? Anything other than “normal” spending at merchants? Any luck using them to purchase “gift” cards anywhere? (on-line or in stores?)
